The Best Red Onions 



The red-skinned Onions are by far the best winter keepers lasting well into the spring, 

 far beyond the time that any of the white or yellow varieties could be kept in good con- 

 dition. They mature rather late, have solid flesh, and their flavor is stronger than any 

 of the others. 



580 Large Red Wethersfleld. A 



well-known variety with very large thick 

 flat onions having a bright purplish red 

 tint. Solid flesh, shaded pink near the 

 skin. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; i lb. 85c; 

 lb. S2.50. 



582 Southport Red Globe. The 



Southport Globe Onions are all very 

 popular and this splendid red-skinned 

 variety is no e.xception. The onions are 

 perfectly round and have an attractive 

 red skin and white flesh. Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 25c; } lb. S5c; lb. S2.50.

X^Tiite Bunching Onion 



The Leading White Sorts 



The white-skinned onions are much nMlder in flavor 

 than yellow or red ones but they do not keep so well.

 and popular standard sort of medium size, perfect 

 globe shape, with pure white skin. White, fine- 

 grained flesh of fairly strong flavor. Pkt. 10c;

 bulbs and it is grown exclr.sively for green onions or 

 scallions. Sow the seed thickly in rows and earth up 

 gradually to blanch the stalks as far up as possible.

594 White 

 Sweet Spanish 



This is by far the largest of the 

 Globe-shaped white varieties. It 

 resembles in form and size the 

 pale yellow Valencia e.xcept that 

 the color of the skin is a pure 

 transparent white. The flesh is 

 tirm yet tender and it has an e.\- 

 ceptionally mild and sweet flavor. 

 Under favorable conditions in- 

 dividual onions of astonishing 

 large size can easily be grown. 

 Even under average conditions 

 they reach exceptional size. Vet 

 they are always of sweet mild 

 flavor. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; 1 lb.

Choice Onion Sets 



For the small garden we recommend the use of Onion Sets as 

 the risk of failure is almost eliminated and the crop is ready much 

 e;irlier than when grown from seed. Onion Sets should be planted 

 in rows 12 inches apart, with sets 2 inches apart in the rows. 

 1 quart will plant a 50 foot row.
